rukoista

Rukoista is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "rukoista" translates to "prayers" in English, reflecting the dish's origins as a simple, hearty meal prepared by farmers and laborers during the long winter months. The primary ingredients of rukoista are potatoes, onions, and sometimes carrots, which are cooked together until tender. The dish is typically served with a side of butter or sour cream, and sometimes with a sprinkle of salt or pepper for added flavor.
